Decisive for the charging performance, efficiency, and high reproducibility of the performance of the Q6 e-tron series are the 800-volt architecture and advanced thermal management. This allows charging powers of up to 270 kW. The predictive thermal management utilizes data from departure timer, usage behavior, route profile, or navigation including active route guidance with charging stop planning. In addition, the PPE thermal management allows post and continuous conditioning of the high-voltage battery. To be able to absorb up to 270 kW during DC charging, the cell chemistry of the newly developed lithium-ion battery with a total gross capacity of 100 kWh (94.9 kWh net) has been optimized. Audi has succeeded in achieving an optimal balance of energy density and charging performance. The cells have a significantly reduced cobalt content and lower resistances for optimal charging performance. With a State of Charge (SoC) of still around ten percent, just ten minutes at a fast charging station are enough to generate a range of up to 255 kilometers under ideal conditions with a maximum charging power of 270 kW during DC charging. Only 21 minutes pass until the high-voltage battery is charged from a SoC of 10 percent to 80 percent.
